Title: Data Related to the Need for New Directions for School Improvement (Information Resource)
Description: Proposals for new directions are consistently met with demands from policy makers for data showing that the additional effort will immmediately improve student achievement. Too often, essential systemic changes are not made because of this inadequate appreciation of (1) the growing body of evidence indicating a plateau effect related to prevailing approaches to school improvement, (2) analyses focusing on what's missing in such approaches, and (3) the existing research base supporting development of comprehensive, multifaceted approaches to address barriers to learning and promote healthy development.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/data.pdf 43kb; 2pp
